Psalms 120

120

A Cry for Truth and Peace

A song of ascents.

1In my distress I called to the Lord,

and he answered me. # 120:1 Ps 18:6; Jnh 2:2

2“Lord, rescue me from lying lips

and a deceitful tongue.” # 120:2 Pr 12:22

3What will he give you,

and what will he do to you,

you deceitful tongue? # 120:3 Zph 3:13

4A warrior’s sharp arrows

with burning charcoal! # 120:4 Lit with coals of the broom bush,# 120:4 Pr 25:18,22

5What misery that I have stayed in Meshech, # 120:5 = a people far to the north of Palestine,# 120:5 Ezk 27:13

that I have lived among the tents of Kedar! # 120:5 = a nomadic people of the desert to the southeast,# 120:5 Sg 1:5; Ezk 27:21

6I have dwelt too long

with those who hate peace. # 120:6 Ps 35:20

7I am for peace; but when I speak,

they are for war. # 120:7 Ps 109:4
